One hundred dollars reward.

--Ranaway, from the American Hotel, on Monday, the 9th inst., my negro boy William who calls himself William May. Said boy is about 20 years old; five feet ten inches in height; of a bright ginger-bread color; very pleasant unders and least appearance. He was raised on the estate of the late Wm. G. Overton, of Hanover and may be endeavoring to escape to the enemy in that vicinity. I will give the above reward for his apprehension and delivery to me in Petersburg or $75 if delivered to Messrs. J. L. Carrington & Co., American Hotel, Richmond, Va.
